Linear Voltage Regulator

StarStarStarStar

A linear voltage regulator maintains a constant output voltage despite changes in the input voltage or load conditions. It dissipates excess power as heat.

StarStarStarStar

Switching Voltage Regulator

StarStarStarStar

A switching regulator converts the input voltage to a higher or lower level using an inductor, transformer, or capacitor, with higher efficiency than linear regulators.

StarStarStarStar

Zener Diode Voltage Regulator

StarStarStarStar

A simple voltage regulator using a Zener diode’s reverse breakdown voltage characteristic to maintain a steady output voltage.

StarStarStarStar

Voltage Reference

StarStarStarStar

A device or circuit that provides a constant voltage output used as a reference for other components or circuits to ensure accurate and stable operation.

StarStarStarStar

Series Pass Regulator

StarStarStarStar

A type of linear regulator that uses a variable element, like a transistor, connected in series with the load to maintain a constant output voltage.

StarStarStarStar

Shunt Regulator

StarStarStarStar

A type of voltage regulator that connects in parallel with the load and shunts current to ground to regulate the output voltage.

StarStarStarStar

Feedback Control

StarStarStarStar

A technique used in regulators where a portion of the output is fed back to the control device to make adjustments ensuring stable output voltage.

StarStarStarStar

Magnetic Regulator

StarStarStarStar

An electromagnetic device that regulates voltage by using the saturation of a magnetic core to limit AC voltage.

StarStarStarStar

SCR Voltage Regulator

StarStarStarStar

A regulator using Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) to chop the AC input waveform and thereby control the output voltage to a load.

StarStarStarStar

Voltage Divider

StarStarStarStar

A resistive circuit that outputs a fraction of the input voltage, used for setting reference voltages in regulators.
